Deputy Chairmen of Committees
Debate between Lord Howell of Guildford and Lord Sewel
The Chairman of Committees (Lord Sewel)
My Lords, I beg to move the first six Motions standing in my name on the Order Paper en bloc.
Lord Howell of Guildford (Con)
The noble Lord will recall that on 26 March he kindly replied to a Question of mine relating to the setting up of an international relations standing committee of this House. In the light of what he answered in his Written Answer, what progress does he see being made on this issue?
The Chairman of Committees
I am happy to give the noble Lord the news that this afternoon the Liaison Committee is considering the very point that he has raised. I hope to be able to write to him in a matter of a few days with details about how the matter is being taken forward.
